Born to Dance

Hi! This is another book review. This book review is on Born to Dance.

Author- Jean Ure
Genre- Fiction, Everyday Life
Theme- Have persistence
Target Audience- 8+ I will explain why later in the post

I will now explain why l chose have persistence for the theme. I chose have persistance for the theme because Maddy was certain that Caitlyn was a dancer. When Maddy asked Caitlyn, she denied she was a dancer. Once Maddy finds out the truth, she keeps asking her Mother about Caitlyn, because her Mother teaches ballet. Maddy kept persisting about asking and trying to help Caitlyn believe in her abilities to dance.

I will now explain why l chose 8+ for the target audience. I chose 8+ for the target audience because the words aren't confusing or too long and is great if you want to start reading longer books (this is the perfect one to start with). This book is also entertaining, so an added bonus!

This book is about Maddy always thinking that Caitlyn was a dancer. Liv and Jordan think that Maddy is being silly. Then, Miss Lucas wants Maddy to be in the school play but Maddy thinks it's stupid. Maddy does it and then starts to rehearse in the gym but what does Maddy think when she sees Caitlyn trying to teach herself ballet?

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars ⛦ because although really good, it wasn't the best book in the world. The way to improve the book would probably just have vocabulary that's more difficult, because that makes you want to read the book more.

The question of the blog is can you dance ballet? I chose this question because the only type of dance they do in this story is ballet. I don't dance ballet and I don't really think I ever will because I do not have the leg strength to dance ballet. Also I don't know how to speak French (not that you have to know) but it would be easier to start when knowing French because ballet moves are in French.

Dancing shoes

Hi! l hope you enjoy this book review on Dancing shoes!

Author- Noel Streatfeild
Genre- Fiction
Theme- Follow YOUR passion l will explain why later in the post
Target audience- 10+ l will explain why later in the post

I said follow YOUR passion for the theme. I chose it because Rachel kept saying to Hilary that she should just do ballet but I think that Hilary did the right thing by doing acrobatics and things like that because Hilary didn't really like ballet that much anyway.

I chose 10+ for the target audience because the words for ballet are quite hard to say if, you're reading it out loud but otherwise you can read Dancing Shoes! Unless, you can read Frech of course!

This book is about Rachel and her Mother and they adopted Hilary but her father died quite soon after he started to act. And Rachel and Hilarys Mother died when they were around 10 years old. Then their aunt Cora (Mrs Wintle) came and took the girls to Londen to where their uncle (Tom Lennox) and cousin (Dulcie) lived. Mrs Wintle ran a dancing school and Hilary soon settled in but Rachel had a harder time because she had never danced before. During the book Rachel kept trying to persuade Hilary to give up that dancing and go to the Royal Ballet School. But everyone else thought that Rachel has gone crazy...

I give this book 3 out of 5 stars ⛦ because it got boring sometimes because events just kept happening and they never stayed at one event and focused on it. Instead it was just a lot of events and not enough detail.

The question of the blog is would you like to do ballet? I would because I think it would be very fun and good for your legs muscles. It would also strengthen them to become more stronger and not have weak legs. You would also have to be quite flexible!

Also there is a film based on this book called Dancing Shoes. Though, it is quite diferent. I hope you enjoyed this book review on Dancing shoes! Love-bookworm blog

The Callback

Hi! This is the last Maddie Ziegler book for a while. Anyway l hope you enjoy this book review on The Callback!

Author- Maddie Ziegler
Genre- Fiction
Theme- Persistence I will explain why later in the post
Target audience- 7+

I chose persistence as the theme because Harper had a school musical and she was extremely busy. Everyone eventually got very annoyed of her hectic schedule. Harper was always busy but she never ever stopped.

The Callback was about a school musical and Dancestarz. The school musical was really cool because Harper got to wear one of her dancing outfits for it. When the musical ended there was a dance off at the Dancestarz studio. Harper had to race to the studio to do more dancing! In between everything that happens, there are also a lot of rehearsals. It was EXTREMELY hectic. I was amazed at how Maddie Ziegler (the author) set the scene in this book.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because it was a really interesting book to read. I found the book interesting because the reader got to see more of Harper's school life. We also got to see her other friends from school (not her dance friends).

The question of the blog is .... which Disney princess would you like to be the most? Are you wondering why ? Well if you are it is because the school musical is about Ariel from the little mermaid. My answer is l think l personally LOVE Belle from Beauty and the Beast. If you see my profile it tells you my what favourite movie(s) are. I LOVE Belle because she is a bookworm just like me/you!

The Audition

Hi! I hope you enjoy this post on The Audition!

Author- Maddie Ziegler 

Genre- Fiction is back!

Theme- Persistence l will explain why later in the post

Target audience- 7+

I will now explain why l chose persistence for the theme. I chose persistence because Harper (it is from Harper's perspective) had to move school because she moved states. At first everyone was kind of mean to Harper.

The team that makes up Dancestarz  (Dancestarz is the new dance team) : Harper a new girl, Lily another new girl and Harper's best friend, Tina part of the Bunheads trio, Megan part of the Bunheads trio, Lucky last Trina part of the Bunheads trio. 

This book is about Harper moving and her new dance team, Dancestarz! Lily's family owns a frozen yogurt place and there is a town parade. Of course Dancestarz has to dance in the parade. Megan decided the group should do fast choreography because it was really interesting (but not safe because they were dancing on a float). Then the Dancestarz coach Vanessa changed the fast choreography to slow because Harper could not keep up with the fast sequence. At last minute Megan changes the slow choreography to the fast choreography because they saw their biggest enemies the Belles. Remember that  Harper could not keep up with the fast choreography. Well Harper ended up falling off the floaty. The Belles record the fall and it ends up being viral!

I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because at the end the Lily, Harper and the Bunheads end up being better friends then before. It is a great message to spread around that you can make friends with the people who are not exactly nice to you when they first meet you.

The question of the blog is ... which dance style would you like to do the most and why? I personally think I would enjoy acro because I can do a lot of tricks already (it says in MY first post ever) and a lot of people say l am flexible too!

I will do The Callback very soon. So look out for that! I hope you enjoy this post on The Audition! Love-bookworm blog 💕
